Be prepared to hit “like” and retire your pink lip gloss as you scroll through Robin Black’s Instagram account. This girl acts both as makeup artist and photographer for her account—does cool, unique makeup on cool, unique models.

When she’s not dolling up celebrities like Anna Faris and Jamie King, Lottie conceives makeup looks that are mesmerizing and truly inspired. Moody, oxblood lipstick, anyone?

Many of this guy’s posts come from high fashion editorials he has worked on. Follow this French makeup artist living in the New York City for beauty looks that push the envelope.

Wearing @balmain #repost #pa-Rih #glaminator #mylahmoralesbeauty @ardellbeauty @ardell_lashes Paris Fashion week. #glaminator very proud of my work so posting these pics and the comments coming back negative are redic and actually shameful. I’ve deleted most negative comments and very disappointed. It’s fun it’s makeup inspiration with fashion!

Mylah also goes by the name “The Glaminator.” And surely, glam is really her game: this makeup artist is behind several of pop singer Rihanna’s most stunning beauty looks.
